Toy Hauler Suggestions for Ram 1500
I just purchased a 2016 Ram 1500 Rebel with the V8 HEMI and 3.92 rear, tow package and air suspension. The side sticker says max weight is 950 lbs. Doing the calculations, that doesn't leave room ...

My 2015 rear weighs 2200# loaded for daily duty (cross bed toolbox with tools), sticker says 1600# payload. I suspect mine is about the max setup for the RAM 1500 5.7, 8spd, 3.92... 10,200# 'towing capacity'.. might have lost a bit with the 4x4. Our TT is very light, 2700# 550# tongue weight.. I don't worry too much about exceeding the payload however we tend to pack light.
With this truck I wouldn't tow anything over 6000# on a regular basis, seems likely you'll either exceed payload or have to run the trailer with a light tongue which isn't my idea of fun.
Manufactures will put a 'tow' package on anything, my 2 door wrangler has a 'towing' capacity of 3500#. No way would I put our light 16' TT behind that at any speed greater than walking speed.
